For me I will admire a circulated 100 year coin rather than an Uncirculated 150 years old coin. A circulated coin is history and I can never imagine to see a 100 year old coin in an uncirculated condition and feel that it is a 100 year old.
Personally I see a circulated coin as a witness of history travelling from one person hand to another rather than an uncirculated coin that may have spent the last 100 years in a safe box of a collector and never witnessed anything.
This is my opinion but that doesn't mean that I don't have uncirculated coins in my collection.
